    If so, sure, I'm up for a swap.
    Current "Product Owner" asked how it would be possible to deliver the current system in 2 years rather than the 15 years based on "Story Points" and "Sprint Velocity".

    I foolishly suggested it would be possible if we increased our productivity by 750%.

    So that was presented to the board, and they agreed we should do that.

              Luxury, one agent took 20 minutes trying to convince me that running some financial midget's BI in the square mile was paying well at £35k. They did offer season ticket loans I said they would chuffing have to because that much wouldn't keep Miss V in Strawberries.

                    Found it was cheap to live (with onsite parking) and crime isn't bad so I thought mustn't be too bad plus with trains straight into central london about 40-50 minutes travel time.
